Foundation of College Writing
In this semesters Foundations of College Writing class taught by Dr. Sherry we learned different ways to take information gathered from different subjects and relay the information in different ways depending on the topic and intended audience. In my portfolio, I will show the progress I have made in my projects and connect them to the different goals that have been set. First, I wrote a research paper on how students should choose their major, then I took what I learned while doing my research paper and modified it to address students, families, and potential employers. For my final project I answered what I thought it was to be educated and I connected it my personal life experiences to why I felt that way.
Goal A. Students will be able to compose for particular audiences and purposes.
This goal means that we will be able to modify our info in ways that are appropriate to who is viewing it and why they are. I made these models for my Ear project, which is a project that we were assigned to learn different ways of taking information and changing them to address different audiences. For this Goal I chose to focus on my Brochure and my Flyer that I made to show different ways I can address family and incoming students.
Goal B. Students will be able to compose using language and conventions appropriate to genre.
This goal means that we will be able to write and present information using the styles and rules of whatever form we are using. In the EAR project I wrote about before some of the grammar and pictures were different depending on who the intended audience was for the flyer, brochure, and letter.
Goal C. Students will be able to read, select, and use evidence critically to formulate and support arguments.
In my Clue project I used research I found to support how people should choose their major and I made it clear using the three INs: Introduce, Insert, and Interpret
Goal D. Students will be able to interpret and compose in a variety of media print/non-print genres.
We will be able to read and create in multiple ways and forms. For my EAR projectI was able to present the info from the paper and present it in different ways using my Flyer, Brochure, and Letter.
Goal E. Students will be able to discuss and apply appropriate writing processes both individually and in collaborative contexts.
This goal means we will be able to make revisions to work both by themselves and with others. For my Clue and Tell project my drafts were outlines or skeletons what my final project eventually became.
